I've heard this episode yesterday and I am so grateful for this conversation, Elise!
As a child (in the late 70s) I was playing with an autistic girl frequently. And after a short "introduction" like: "she doesn't talk", we where left alone.
And we where talking through our minds (I would have said heads/ thoughts) about what we want to play.
She was older and showed me some of her painting tools. It was new to me and she was teaching me.
Of course I get weird smiles znd eye rolls on this story.
But this conversation is underlining my experiences πππ¦
